Crestview

Located in North central Austin, Crestview is like a time capsule from the post-World War II boom years.

The neighborhood contains bungalows and mid-century ranch homes boasting beautiful gardens and shaded by mature trees. The Crestview neighborhood, built by developer A.B. Beddow on the site of an old dairy farm, attracts people who value the quiet, relaxing environment of an established area that's just east of Northcross Mall, the geographic center of the Austin metropolitan area.

The Crestview Neighborhood Association defines the neighborhood as stretching from Anderson Lane to the north and Justin Lane to the south and between Lamar Boulevard and Burnet Road (east to west). The neighborhood, which covers about 1.2 square miles, is just moments from U.S. Highway 183, which provides quick access to Interstate 35, about a mile to the east, as well as MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1), about a mile to the west.

In addition to its Metro Rail stop, Crestview is served by a number of bus routes that link the neighborhood to the University of Texas campus and downtown Austin. Students can ride the Pickle Research Campus (PRC) shuttle line; residents can take the #1L/M, #101, #3 or #5 bus lines to the city's downtown core. For those seeking to travel elsewhere in the city, Capital Metro operates a park-and-ride at U.S. 183 and Lamar Boulevard, just a block north of the neighborhood's northeast corner.
